Verified by Experts

Compounds in which one of elements exists in three different oxidation states can show disproportionation reactions. For example,
`3Hoverset(+3)NO_(2)toHoverset(+5)NO_(3)+2overset(+2)NO+H_(2)O" , "4H_(3)overset(+3)PO_(3)overset(Delta)to3H_(3)overset(+5)PO_(4)+overset(-3)PH_(3)`
